Having defined rock’n’roll in the 60s, The Rolling Stones entered their imperial phase in 1971, with Sticky Fingers. What followed is a run of albums that couldn’t have happened at any other time, by any other band: the decadent excess of Exile On Main St, the Jamaican voodoo swamp of Goats Head Soup, the disco- and punk-infused prowl of Some Girls. With each new decade, the Stones evolved while staying true to their roots, coming full circle in 2016 with Blue & Lonesome, a love letter to their first inspiration: the blues.

‘The Studio Albums Vinyl Collection 1971 – 2016’ presents this monumental era in Rock N’ Roll history in a highly bespoke, lenticular mounted, limited edition box-set housing the 15 x Studio Albums from Sticky Fingers through Blue & Lonesome in faithful & intricate original packaging replications. Every album has been lovingly remastered & cut at revelatory Half-Speed at Abbey Road Studios from vinyl specific original tape transfers designed to get the very best possible sound from the format. Each album is pressed on heavyweight 180-gram black vinyl, includes a download card for HD digital redemption of the catalogue & includes a numbered certificate of authentication.

Half speeding is an elaborate process whereby the source is played back at half its normal speed and the turntable on the disc cutting lathe is running at 16 2/3 R.P.M. Because both the source and the cut were running at half their “normal” speeds everything plays back at the right speed when the record is played at home.
